Multiple Sclerosis, How Kangen Water Helps!
In short, MS is an autoimmune disorder which causes inflammation and healthy cells of the brain and spinal cord to be attacked causing scar tissue (Sclerosis). Multiple Sclerosis is one of the advanced symptoms of Acidosis. Acidosis is an increased acidity (i.e. an increased hydrogen ion concentration). If not further qualified, it usually refers to acidity of the blood plasma. Acidosis is said to occur when arterial pH falls below 7.35.
The following is how a HEALTHY immune system responds to an alarm set off in the body:
Inflammation is a manifestation of the immune system's response to an invading organisms or substances. These may be viruses, bacteria, fungi, allergens, or, in the case of autoimmune diseases, the bodies own tissue.
When an invading organism (pathogen) is first recognized the immune system launches a response involving a number of different white blood cells (leukocytes) - this is known as an immune cascade.
At the site of the infection, there are a number of physiological changes that take place to assist the destruction of the invaders. These include:
- Increased blood flow to the area to maximize the number of leukocytes that can get to the infection site.
- A thinning of the cells in local blood capillary walls (endothelial cells) to allow the leukocytes to squeeze through.
- An increase in local temperature which has an antibiotic effect.
- A large number of immune system signaling molecules (chemokines) are released by leukocytes to co-ordinate the immune response and to call more leukocytes to the site.
Once the invader has been dealt with, the body terminates the immune response by killing off the leukocytes in the locality. This is done by depriving them of nutrients (necrosis) and by making them commit suicide (apoptosis). There are two ways that apoptosis happens:
- By sending cells special cellular messenger molecules (cytokines) to tell them to die.
- By not sending them other cytokines that tell them to keep living. A type of leukocyte, a helper T-cell, continues to release this type of cytokine while it continues to detect the presence of the pathogen. Once it can no longer detect it, it stops and other leukocytes die.
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS – WHAT GOES WRONG:
In multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases, the inflammatory response seems to be launched in the absence of a pathogen. It seems that certain T-cells are mistakenly recognizing the insulating sheaths around nerves (myelin) as a foreign invader. It is an auto immune disorder which causes the healthy cells of the brain and spinal cord to become inflamed causing necrosis and/or apoptosis.
According to a tremendous amount of studies and independent research, Kangen Water (ionized, alkaline water) aids to body in reducing its acidity level, decreases inflammatory conditions, and aids the body with auto immune diseases. The list of conditions that Kangen Water helps with goes on and on… when the body is rid of its toxic, acid waste, alkalized and properly hydrated it is more able to deal with diseases and is given the environment needed to heal.
Doctors agree that acid, in the form of toxic waste, is the underlying causes of every known degenerative disease! Kangen Water rids the body of acid waste and raises the pH of the body. It does this due to the alkalinity of the water, ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential – the ability to pull acid waste from deep in the cells) and the fact that it is micro-clustered. In other words, it is reduced water – broken down into very small water clusters allowing the water to penetrate deep into the cells to reach deep internal problems.

WHY DO WE GET THESE SYMPTOMS?
Main Causes of Sickness, Disease and Premature Aging:
1. Dehydration Our bodies use 2.5 liters of water at normal function in a mild climate. You should be drinking at least 2 liters of water a day. So you see, we are already behind on water intake. The most common signs of dehydration are headaches and fatigue. Our bodies prioritize when water is limited, so areas and organs low on the list just loose out. Water is the only source of hydration. Do not confuse all liquids with the hydrating ability of water. Soda, coffee, tea, and alcohol actually cause you to be more dehydrated. We need to drink more water. We need to drink better water.
2. Free Radicals (Oxidants, Active Oxygen) A free Radical by definition is any unstable atom that has unpaired electrons in its outer shell. An unstable oxygen atom (oxidant) needs 2 more electrons to fill in its outer shell in order to stabilize. Oxygen by itself will seek out these electrons wherever it can, including healthy cells and our DNA. We get free radicals from various sources - the foods we eat, smoking, drinking alcohol and pollution, but the most common is breathing, Every breath brings in 2% free radicals which increases to 20% during cardiovascular activity. Our bodies' natural anti-oxidizing systems can handle the load at rest, but during times of high stress and fatigue, the free radicals become too much. These radicals are linked to multiple diseases, including cancer and diabetes, and they can accelerate the aging process. Since free radicals are strong oxidants, they are oxidizing or "rusting" our bodies ,like an old car. We must flush these free radicals out, in order to remain healthy and happy.
3. Acidosis Acidosis is an overly acidic state in the body, caused by an acidic diet and lifestyle. Cooked meats, poultry, sugar, pasteurized dairy, coffee, sweeteners, and alcohol are all acidic. Vegetables, fruits, and nuts are all alkaline - the opposite of acidic. There needs to be a balance to combat the acid in our bodies, but this is not happening. All the food we crave is acid forming and over acidification of body fluids is linked to almost EVERY KNOWN DISEASE. Some examples are Diabetes, Heart Diseases, Heartburn, Chronic Fatigue… just to name a few. During Menopause, women can become extremely acidic. Our bodies use calcium and other minerals to buffer this acidity. That calcium loss can lead to osteoperosis. We need balance, We need to fight the acidity.
4. Intestinal Disorders Let's start with physical facts. Most nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and proteins from our food are absorbed through our intestines. Food only stays in our stomachs for 1 to 3 hours. And then our intestines absorb the nutrients we need for survival. Of all the vital organs in the body, the one that suffers the most abuse from modern dietary habits is the intestinal tract. According to the recent study, we now consume approximately 100 times more pesticides, chemicals, livestock hormones, preservatives and carcinogens than just two generations ago. At this level, our body simply cannot handle that kind of constant toxic attacks by itself. Our intestines were intended by nature to function as smoothly flowing disposal systems, designed to promptly absorb nutrients and flush digestive wastes from the body. Instead, they have become stagnant cesspools. Every tissue is fed by the bloodstream which is supplied by the intestines. When the intestines are dirty, the blood is dirty, and so are the organs and tissues. It is the intestines that must be cared for first before any effective healing can take place. - Dr. Bernard Jensen, Ph. D According to the FDA, the average American carries anywhere between 5 to 22 pounds of compacted fecal matter, as foul toxic waste mucus, stuck in the folds of their colon (large intestine). This toxic mucus not only produces so many free radicals but also prevents our vital nutrients from being absorbed. Nature never intended for us to move toxic substances through our system on a daily basis. Even the US Health and Human Services admitted that 90% of Americans are walking around with clogged colons. Almost ALL disease comes from this toxic cesspool in the colon. It is commonly known among medical circles that your colon is home base for almost every disease in the body. Good Health Starts with Clean Intestines (And Clean Intestines Start with Kangen Water!) This may be demonstrated with the research of Dr. Shinya (world renowned Dr. and inventor of colonoscopy).
Kangen water is the best water available to us, hands down. By drinking Kangen water, you are sweeping the free radicals out of your body because of the incomparably high anti-oxidizing properties. Kangen water has smaller clusters (water molecules) that hydrate you MUCH faster at a cellular level. The alkalinity and ORP (ability of the water to pull acid waste from your cells) of Kangen water helps balance acidosis. All of these factors combined help clean all the stagnant toxic waste out of your colon. Considering over 70% of disease comes from a dehydrated, acidic colon hosting too many free radicals and the fact that your intestines will not function properly without enough water, drinking lots of Kangen water just makes total sense to help you fight these everyday battles. Combining healthy diet, moderate exercise and super-hydrating Kangen Water will be a huge step to restoring balance in your body.

Healthier Skin Can Now Be Achieved With A Skin Care Product That You Dab On Your Skin
Many people see skin care or anti wrinkle creams as an anti aging treatment. Although you can do things to reduce the appearance of aging, we are still growing old. Some creams promote healthy skin and can help skin become healthier but avoiding excessive sunlight and smoking can do so much more to improve the overall health of your face.
Skin creams do not prevent aging, but they can make the skin healthier. This is the secret to how they work. It does not matter if the product is a basic antioxidant or something that helps to exfoliate dead cells. It does not matter if they have vitamins or antioxidants; the end result you are after is clear skin and healthy cells and to get it you need to address the root cause of cellular damage.
What is the root cause of cellular damage and wrinkles?
Pinpointing the Triggers
- UVA Radiation and Free Radical Oxydation
- Reduced Cellular Turnover
- Chronic Inflamm-aging
Ultraviolet Radiation and Oxygen Radicals
It is well-known that ultraviolet light induces harmful photochemical reactions in the skin and inflammation therein.
During exposure and as repair of the UV damage takes place, super-oxide radicals are formed in the skin. UV irradiation also causes some microvascular damage in the skin. This leads to local hemorrhage and "leakage" of blood cells into the dermis. Iron from the hemoglobin accumulates in the extra-cellular matrix of the tissue as Fe +2 and Fe +3. It is known that iron catalytically participates in the conversion of superoxide radicals to hydroxyl radicals, a species which is known to be very damaging to tissue.
In addition to their role in UV radiation induced tissue damage, oxygen radicals are known to be capable of reversibly or irreversibly damaging compounds of all biochemical classes. Some of these compounds include nucleic acids, proteins and free amino acids, lipids and lipoproteins, carbohydrates, and connective tissue macromolecules. These compounds may have an impact on such cell activities as membrane function, metabolism, and gene expression.
Reduced Cellular Turnover
Billions of cells die in the body every day by normal processes (apoptosis). These dead cells need to be recognized by phagocytes and cleared rapidly.
Specific cells in the body are designed to ingest dangerous particles, such as invading bacteria. These professional eating cells, or phagocytes, also eat dead or dying cells. This process of clearance of dead or dying cells is necessary to allow for the repair of damaged tissue and to maintain normal tissue. When this process of cellular ingestion (phagocytosis) is deregulated, the body becomes susceptible to chronic infections and autoimmunity disorders.
Inflammation is a noun, the verb that reflects the process is "inflammaging".
Inflammation is what we see as a result of the first response of the immune system to infection or irritation and may be referred to as the innate immune cascade. Imagine your body calling 911 for help. At the first sign of inflammation, all those cells respond like fire trucks to a blaze. Inflammation normally constitutes the body's initiation of healing or putting out the flames we can say. However, when inflammation is not properly regulated, it can result in chronic diseases. Would you continue to spray water on a fire that has been put out? You body sometimes continues to send responders to a site that does not require the help. Arthritis is caused when chronic inflammation leads to joint pain and damage. Chronic inflammation can also contribute to conditions such as atherosclerosis, obesity, Alzheimer. Deregulated or overzealous inflammatory responses can cause eczema, psoriasis, acne, rosacea, and contribute to photo-aging and other skin problems and disorders.
It is important to understand that inflammation is neither "healthy" nor "unhealthy" on its own: Inflammation helps fight disease, but it comes at the cost of suspending the body's normal immune and catabolic processes. In the short term this is often a valid trade-off, but in the long term it causes progressive damage.
The problem with inflammation is our body reacts in very much the same way it learned to react during the millions of years of our evolutionary drift. By sending to any site of injury and insult to our body, even to the slightest one, all its army of immune system soldiers (lymphocytes, macrophages, neutrophils...) , overcharged with chemical death weapons to get rid of the offenders, with no consideration even for its own cells that might happen to be in their way and also do get killed. After all... it used to be a matter of life or death! NOT OF BEAUTY AND HEALTH.
This is what is meant by inflammatory reaction. And, Oh Boy! You might as well bet those soldiers are inflamed!
Counteracting the Triggers
Got the point? Modulating the inflammatory response is the recipe for success! Cool down guys (immune cells), past are the times when bacteria and other micro-organism ruled. Or is it just wishful thinking? Is it not true that we carry on and inside our body three times more bacteria than the number of cells our organism is made of?
Fact is our body is ingrained with the memories of past battles, fought to protect our system whenever damaged or injured and does not listen to just any argument made up by the pharmaceutical companies or those selling anti aging products aiming to reduce the appearance of aging.
During our evolutionary drift, injuries and wounds represented a serious threat to our organism, not only due to blood loss, but also due to tissue damage or infection from the invasion of foreign bodies such as dirt, splinters, and bacteria. The adult wound healing mechanism that evolved to respond to this threat has two fundamental characteristics: First, there is a rapid and robust inflammatory response, with recruitment of activated macrophages, neutrophils, and lymphocytes to the injured site; and second, there is a fibrotic "walling-off" response to isolate the foreign body, with liquefaction of adjacent tissue which leads to abscess formation and scarring.
Is the inflammatory response still appropriate?
Scar Less Healing
"An abscess and its subsequent scar is not an evolutionarily optimized end point for today's injuries," Dr. Mark Ferguson, D.D.S., Ph.D., professor in the faculty of life sciences at the University of Manchester, England, says. The abscess and scarring response, with its massive inflammatory overdrive, is optimized for a very different type of skin lesion than those occurring nowadays where hygiene and clean faces and bodies rule. The abscess and scar is induced by this inappropriate inflammatory response.
Something is missing in all the products out there. Something that would let your body know it is being taken care of properly, and does not need to react with its inflammatory army. Not just the natural or chemical ingredients that fight the signs of aging when it is already too late, but also the accumulated damage from excess solar radiation and free radicals plus the wear and tear that becomes chronic inflammatory lesions.
A new glycoconjugates fluid made of glyco or sugar molecules bound to soluble proteins, enzymes, co-enzymes, and basic elements like copper, calcium, iron and zinc, produced by a little creature to protect, repair, renew and deeply moisturize its skin is the promising breakthrough ingredient that can yield those results.
